We've been in a marriage of convenience for three years without sleeping together. Why am I goi

I just got scammed once.

Shen Luoyao seemed a little more cautious, and gently tugged at Liu Dianyue's sleeve, "After all, she is Yi Zhi's nominal partner, how can you say such things carelessly?"

Lu Zhi listened to the faint voice

I know it perfectly well.

The persuasion was very weak; in fact, it was intentional indulgence.

No wonder she won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress in her past life.

A few seconds later, Shen Luoyao leaned against Gu Yizhi's chest and sobbed softly, "I really didn't mean to target her."

"Dian Yue, she..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Zhi heard a man's reprimand in her ear, "Apologize."

Her face turned pale, and she bit her lip.

This suggests that the person is certain they deliberately forged a jewelry authentication certificate.

Lu Zhi lowered her eyelashes, about to speak, but heard a burst of laughter.

"The jewelry I lent out, no one recognized it."

His voice was magnetic.

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

Lu Zhi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall man walking towards her on the lawn.

A gentle evening breeze swept by, ruffling his hair. His dark eyes remained calm, and his face was rugged and handsome.

Slightly cynical.

The danger remains undiminished.

When they met again, she secretly glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and found that he was much more handsome than when they first met at the bar.

He's even more handsome than his profile picture.

It's a kind of beauty that's hard to capture in a photograph.

Lu Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and she stood there stunned.

As he got closer and closer to him.

She then realized the danger.

Lu Zhi subconsciously shrank back a little.

I don't want to get involved in public, especially when my elders are still around.

After all, she still holds the title of "Mrs. Gu".

Fortunately.

The man seemed to sense her thoughts, and stopped in front of Gu Yizhi, extending his hand to shake hers. "Hello, Pei Yi from the Pei family of Beijing."

As soon as the introduction was given, everyone's eyes turned to it.

Lu Zhi also glanced at it a couple more times.

The man was handsome, with an innate air of nobility in his eyes and brows, but upon closer inspection, there was also a hint of fierceness.

Her face is exceptionally beautiful and otherworldly.

The key point is that the latter's name, Pei, and the words "capital city" in the title, carry undeniable authority and prestige.

Even if it's just a collateral branch or a side branch.

That's enough to rival all the wealthy families present.

Lu Zhi glanced at the people present and noticed that several noble ladies already had feelings of love stirring in their eyes.

return……

It's truly eye-catching.

Lu Zhi felt a strange sense of unease, as if her family's treasure was being coveted.

I feel slightly unwell.

She couldn't help but keep her eyes fixed on Pei Yi.

Those hands with distinct knuckles were stretched out in mid-air for a few seconds.

No one responded, so he took it back.

His demeanor was haughty, and he didn't take Gu Yizhi seriously at all.

Gu Yizhi frowned.

The atmosphere at the scene fell into a deathly silence.

Then, Xu Ping, the banquet organizer dressed in a suit, came over and took the initiative to smooth things over, saying, "I was busy just now and didn't have time to look after this place. None of them are acquaintances, so let me introduce them."

"This is Pei Yi from the Pei Group."

Just after Xu Ping sealed the deal, Gu Yizhi frowned even more deeply and impatiently stretched out his hand, "Shengcheng, Gu Yizhi."

He held his hand in mid-air for a long time.

Pei Yi didn't even shake hands, deliberately ignoring even the most basic formalities.

This is considered a way of repaying what happened before.

A silent tension hung between the two.

As she took in the scene, Lu Zhi looked at Pei Yi with a newfound curiosity.

My gaze fell on them for only a few seconds.

That hand, which refuses to compromise, opens its palm in front of itself.

The sapphire bracelet is in the middle.

At the same time, she heard Pei Yi's voice in her ear: "When you asked me for the necklace, you forgot to give me the bracelet."

Lu Zhi stood there, stunned.

Not wanting to flirt in public, she simply reached for the bracelet.

Lu Zhi was a little nervous, and her hand slipped, touching Pei Yi's wrist, which was slightly cool.

I felt inexplicably comfortable.

After a two-second pause, Lu Zhi's face turned bright red.

She quickly grabbed the bracelet, pretending to be oblivious, and took it away, saying, "Oh, thank you."

To avoid suspicion.

Lu Zhi secretly looked away, only to find that Gu Yizhi's face had darkened. "Does the Gu family need you?"

She gripped the bracelet silently, her hand tightening painfully.

Wearing it is not an option.

Not wearing one isn't an option either.

Fortunately, Xu Zhi took the initiative to defuse the situation, saying, "For the sake of today's wedding banquet, let's all try to keep things peaceful."

Lu Zhi gave him a grateful look.

A person with a cane walked over from a distance.

As soon as Gu Yuanming arrived, he scolded Gu Yizhi, "Wasn't the scene embarrassing enough? You're making sure I won't rest in peace after I die."

She was stunned for a moment.

This is Gu's father, the only person who made the decision for her to marry into the Gu family.

He was also the only one in the entire Gu family who treated her well.

She watched helplessly.

The old man scolded, his face flushed, and he seemed a little out of breath.

Lu Zhi quickly went to help him up.

With that, Gu Yuanming's spirits soared, and his voice boomed, "As long as I live, Zhizhi will be my daughter-in-law, and no one can bully her."

"Yi Zhi has gone too far. Dad will take you to a jewelry exhibition another day."

After the criticism, Gu Yizhi's face darkened even more.

Lu Zhi pulled her head back slightly.

It's really not his fault; he always had luxury brands in his wardrobe every season.

It just so happens that Shen Luoyao stole the jewelry.

It was only temporarily unavailable.

Lu Zhi didn't want to lie to Gu's father, so she took the initiative to be honest and said, "Actually, it was all an accident. He usually prepares for it."

The words were spoken.

Mr. Gu seemed somewhat disbelieving, and his gaze toward Gu Yizhi grew increasingly disgusted. "I plan to leave three percent of the company's shares to Lu Zhi, so that she won't be unable to bring even a decent piece of jewelry to the banquet."

She whispered in the old man's ear, "Dad, don't worry, Yi Zhi is still young."

"I've been with the company for a few years now, and I'm still young. When I was this age, I made the company's stock price double."

"Being unwilling to spend money on your partner is a disgrace to the entire Gu family. Your mother is also confused."

Lu Zhi looked at Gu Yuanming's flushed face, afraid that if she angered him, it would trigger a relapse of a bunch of chronic diseases.

That will be more troublesome.

So she chose to remain silent.

Gu Yizhi's eyes were filled with disbelief as he shouted, "Dad..."

No matter what he said, Gu Yuanming didn't change his mind.

After all, Lu Zhi has known Gu's father for a long time and knows his character well: stubborn and unwilling to change his mind once he has made up his mind.

Lu Zhi was flattered and overwhelmed, thinking about the marriage certificate they hadn't received yet.

Some of them are hard to accept.

I can only accept it for now and keep it safe. I'll find a way to return it later.

Everyone felt it was a tricky situation.

Only Pei Yi in the crowd had a faint smile on his lips, grinning like a fox, "I've long heard that Old Master Gu is strict in managing his family, and I've certainly learned my lesson."

The tone was full of flattery and praise.

Coupled with a magnetic voice, it's not annoying, but rather refreshing.

A scene of joy and harmony.

Lu Zhi heard Gu Yizhi's disgusted voice, "Heh, you really have some tricks up your sleeve. If you can't get anything from me, you'll find another way."
